NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Shantell
Â
I’m a passionate advocate for helping parents decode their kids’ behavior—without feeling overwhelmed or alone in the process.
I never set out to become a behavior expert—I was originally on track to become a nurse. But everything changed when I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician and discovered something that completely shifted my perspective: there’s a science behind why kids do what they do.
And more importantly? That science often doesn’t make it into the hands of the people who need it most—parents.
I changed my degree to Special Education, worked in schools, and eventually went all in—earning my Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis and becoming a BCBA. With over eight years of hands-on experience, I’ve helped families move from frustration to clarity using tools that actually make a difference.
What I Believe...
Behavior is Communication
Every behavior—whether calm or challenging—is sending a message. When we understand the “why” behind a child’s actions, we’re better equipped to meet their needs with compassion and clarity.
Parents Deserve Support, Not Judgment
Parenting is hard, and no one should have to navigate it alone. I believe in creating a space where parents feel heard, understood, and empowered—not criticized.
Small Shifts Create Big Change
You don’t need to overhaul your entire parenting style to see results. Often, just a few intentional changes—backed by the right tools—can lead to meaningful and lasting growth.
Why I Do It
Parenting a child with challenging behavior can feel isolating—and even defeating. I’ve seen families try everything they know, only to end each day feeling like they’re still missing something.
I created The Behavior Reset, my 9-week parent coaching program, to change that.
This course is built to help you understand the root causes of your child’s behavior and give you strategies that are practical, effective, and rooted in behavioral science. We alternate between group coaching and one-on-one sessions to ensure you’re getting the tools and the personal support you need.
My goal is simple: to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to respond with purpose—not guesswork—so you can create a calmer, more connected home.
If you're ready to stop feeling stuck and start understanding what your child truly needs—I'm here to walk with you every step of the way.
